Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ms. Palin.

You know, if Obama had proposed postponing the debate, Norquist would be criticizing him as obviously wanting a time out.
That's the level of bullshit these people are putting out. It doesn't matter what the merits of any given proposal is, as long as Obama is for it, they'll tear it down as fast as they can. No matter if it was something they were all for last week.

Huh. Maybe. I like the blinking "breaking news" thing.
ETA: I hear though that the story was on the paper edition last week. So, what is breaking news?

I think an economic depression is likely if the bailout doesn't go through. And that a complete collapse is likely if it does go through. The longer we stagger on as if everything's normal, the harder it's going to hurt when we finally fall down.
So I'm really hoping for a depression.
From an article at Forbes
"Choking up of credit is like taking the lifeblood away from the economy," [Fed Reserve Chairman] Bernanke said.
This pretty well sums up the problem.

So I skimmed the Enquirer thing. Looks like three members of the affair-guy's family swear it happened. But no smoking gun, right?
One of the family members did pass a polygraph test, which maybe means something....

It's the Enquirer, I'm not buying it. Yeah, they got the goods on Edwards, but that doesn't make me take them seriously.

Strega, why do you think things will be worse if the bailout does happen? (I'm not an expert on these things.)
eta: So if the bailout happens, everyone will just get into more debt?

Also? It supposedly happened over 10 years ago. As long as he wasn't on the city council of Wasilia, I really don't care.

Reid - "Thanks but no thanks":
This is a critical time for our country. While I appreciate that both candidates have signaled their willingness to help, Congress and the Administration have a process in place to reach a solution to this unprecedented financial crisis.
I understand that the candidates are putting together a joint statement at Senator Obama’s suggestion. But it would not be helpful at this time to have them come back during these negotiations and risk injecting presidential politics into this process or distract important talks about the future of our nation’s economy. If that changes, we will call upon them. We need leadership; not a campaign photo op.
